If a step father legally adopted his step son is the step father still considered the stepfather or is he now by law recognized as the father?

Once a stepfather legally adopts his stepson, he is no longer considered a stepfather; he is legally recognized as the boy's father. The adoption process grants him all the rights and responsibilities of a biological parent, and the legal relationship is that of father and son. Thus, after adoption, he is fully integrated into the child's legal family structure.
